After moving to Arizona in 2006, my heart broke each time I heard about a child who lost their life to preventable drowning. Every incident felt like a tragic waste, and I would pray for the families involved—always hoping it wasn’t someone I knew. In those moments, I promised myself that if I ever found a way to help educate parents and children about water safety, I would do it. That promise led to the creation of Child Parent Rescuers in 2013. No more lives should be lost to drowning—not one more.

Our mission is simple: to take proactive steps to educate parents, early childhood professionals, and children on life-saving skills. Prevention is essential. And if an accident does occur, every second counts. Don’t panic—be prepared with the knowledge needed to save a child’s life.

Child Parent Rescuers is a team of professional instructors offering certification in CPR, First Aid, and AED. Each engaging, informative class lasts three hours, and participants receive a two-year certification upon completion. We also provide ongoing support by returning to re-certify and train new staff as needed.
